Comedian Justice Nuagbe, popularly known as Ushbebe, has stirred public discussion with a passionate plea for national prayers on behalf of Nigerian music legend, Innocent Idibia, famously known as 2Baba. In a viral video that’s gaining traction, Ushbebe voiced his worries about 2Baba’s increasingly visible relationship with Natasha Osawaru, a prominent lawmaker from Edo State.
While the nature of their relationship remains officially unconfirmed, Ushbebe’s remarks have added to a growing list of public figures who appear unsettled by what they describe as an odd dynamic between the iconic musician and the politician. According to Ushbebe, something about the bond between the two just doesn't sit right.
In his video, the outspoken comedian didn’t mince words as he suggested that 2Baba seemed to be losing his identity in the relationship. He likened 2Baba’s actions to that of a naive schoolboy blindly following a senior, stating, “Why is a whole legend being dragged around like a school kid being dropped off at class? This isn’t right.”
Referencing the public appearances the duo have made together — including a high-profile visit to the Edo election tribunal — Ushbebe made a satirical but heartfelt appeal for national prayers for 2Baba. He described the situation as one that calls for “serious intercession,” suggesting the legendary artist might need help regaining his independence.
“I don’t normally get involved in people’s business,” Ushbebe said, “but this one is tough to ignore. Our legend is being carried about like a toddler. This is not befitting for someone of 2Baba’s stature. We need to pray for him. He needs to emancipate himself from whatever this is.”
This isn’t the first time alarms have been raised about the 2Baba-Natasha association. In fact, the icon’s mother, Rose Idibia, has also publicly expressed discomfort about the relationship, allegedly pleading with Natasha to “leave her son alone.” Her concerns added a personal and emotional dimension to the ongoing public scrutiny, indicating that the tension may not be limited to the public domain.
Fans and followers of 2Baba are now caught in a whirlpool of reactions — some expressing sympathy, others urging him to be cautious, and a few defending his right to make personal choices without public judgment. However, Ushbebe insists his comments come from a place of genuine concern, not condemnation.
Adding fuel to the fire, controversial internet personality Bobrisky also chimed in recently, declaring 2Baba’s new relationship “substandard” and not worthy of someone of his status. Social media, unsurprisingly, has since been buzzing with speculation, memes, and heated debates about whether 2Baba is being misled or is simply exploring a new chapter in his life.
Further stirring the pot, photos and videos have surfaced showing the duo shopping together, attending events side-by-side, and appearing inseparable. While these could easily be dismissed as innocent companionship, observers like Ushbebe argue that there’s a visible imbalance — one that appears to diminish the aura of the award-winning artiste who has helped shape modern Afrobeats.
2Baba, who has remained silent on the matter, is no stranger to public scrutiny. His long and storied career has seen him navigate the highs of global acclaim and the lows of controversy with remarkable composure. But according to those close to him, this situation might be different — potentially involving deeper emotional or political complexities.
Ushbebe, known for using humor to tackle serious issues, ended his video with a sarcastic but sobering call to action: “Let us not just sit back and watch. This is a legend, o! 2Baba needs our prayers. Before we know it, they’ll be putting him on school uniforms.”
While some see Ushbebe’s comments as comic exaggeration, others feel he’s saying what many fans are thinking but are too afraid to voice. His plea touches on broader questions about fame, influence, and personal agency — especially when public figures get entangled in relationships that raise eyebrows.
For now, 2Baba’s fans remain watchful, hopeful that their beloved artist is not losing himself but rather evolving in a way they may not fully understand yet. Whether or not this relationship continues to flourish or falter, one thing is clear — the legendary singer's every move will continue to spark national interest and passionate debate.
